But that doesn’t mean the third overall draft pick and the highest drafted quarterback from the 2014 class won’t get his share of repetitions with the first team come training camp when the pads are on.

Smart move. Just consider where the Jaguars would be if Henne were to go down with a serious injury this summer or come early in the season? Right then and there, the Jaguars careful plan for Bortles goes out the window and he wouldn’t be near ready based on the practice repetitions he’s received so far.

Since the Jaguars drafted the talented gunslinger out of the University of Central Florida, Bortles has worked strictly with the second team during OTAs and the three-day minicamp that concluded Thursday.

Asked if the 6-5, 230-lb. Bortles will get some first-team looks come training camp, Bradley told USA TODAY Sports, “Yeah, you could see that to see what he can do.

“There could be surprises.

“That’s the point — when he gets in there, you’ll see some of that (first-team reps) in training camp.’’

Say this for Bradley. He’s a sharp head coach who does everything possible to eliminate outside stress and distractions for his players. And the reason why is he wants them to focus all their energy on being as good and as ready as they can possibly be.

He’s also smart enough to have his players prepare for every contingency in a league where the injury rate is 100%.
